Diagonal-cutting pliers YATO YT-2037, 180 mm, grey/red handles

YATO YT-2037 diagonal-cutting pliers, 180 mm, combine hardened cutting edges with a compact, ergonomic design. The grey and red handles offer a comfortable grip while the 180 mm length provides control in confined spaces. These diagonal cutters are intended for cutting wires, pins and small metal parts in electrical work, maintenance and general DIY tasks, delivering clean cuts thanks to heat-treated jaws.

Advantages

The hardened cutting edges ensure long-lasting sharpness and precise shearing of copper, aluminium and soft steel wires. The compact 180 mm body improves access to tight locations and increases leverage for controlled cutting. Ergonomically shaped grey/red handles reduce hand fatigue and improve grip stability during repetitive tasks. Robust construction and corrosion-resistant finish contribute to reliable performance in workshop and field conditions.

Suitable for

• Cutting electrical wires and cable strands
• Trimming pins, nails and small fasteners
• Electronics assembly and repair work
• General maintenance and household DIY projects

Key specifications

• Overall length: 180 mm
• Tool type: diagonal-cutting pliers
• Cutting edge: hardened, heat-treated steel
• Handle: ergonomic, two-color (grey/red) grips
• Finish: corrosion-resistant surface treatment

How to use

Position the cutting edges around the wire or small part to be cut near the hinge for maximum leverage and a clean shear. Apply steady pressure to the handles until the material is severed, then release. For thicker or hardened materials, make controlled partial cuts rather than forcing a single pass. Keep fingers clear of the cutting zone and use appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses, when cutting springs or stiff wires.

Usage recommendations

Use these pliers for soft and medium-hard materials like copper, aluminium and low-carbon steel. Avoid cutting hardened bolts, piano wire or materials beyond the tool’s design to prevent edge damage. Regularly clean and lightly lubricate the pivot to maintain smooth action and inspect cutting edges for nicks; re-sharpening or replacement is recommended if performance degrades.
